Let's face it: There really are no rules when it comes to making music. It's very easy these days for modern music makers to get caught up in the technical expectations of what they perceive as the "correct" way to do things, but following those guidelines can really compromise o

Its only rock nroll but I like it .."Let’s face it: There really are no rules when it comes to making music." True and all..

David and guy who`s music generously shared a very good hip hop vocal mix.. does his thing improves it no end..bit at end where he mentions more on Indi rock n roll is more of interest to me but still a great free lesson ~In the end it sounded better with only Saturn on..

Start with a simple guitar/vocal presentation and apply some logic. If you feel that simple will be enough, then fine. But make sure the guitar playing is excellent, the vocal is solid and well performed (by solid, I mean in tune and in character with the song), and the basic quality of the recording is good -- no pops or hiss or dropouts.

Embellish When Necessary

If the major part of the song is a big chorus, add a harmony part and perhaps a piano. If it's up-tempo and rhythmic, add an electric guitar and maybe some percussion. Now, there are songs that are great vehicles for records, but need a full demo to show them off. So, take out that second mortgage!

Look the Part

And finally, aside from clear labeling (the title, your name, telephone number, address, and the copyright notice) and a neatly typed lyric sheet (in upper-case letters), use a good quality CD (or mp3) when you pitch your song. Don't put a million dollar dream on a ten-cent recording.

Your song is copyrighted for your lifetime plus 50 years, so remember for at least 50 years, the demo you make today will be the only representation of how you really intended your song to be dressed. Make sure it's dressed for success.

Nov9 off his blog ~ An annoying column on right hand side I zoomed out under view on Firefox to be able to read but in my opinion the blog was a bit spammy and not that easy to get to an educational insider tips relevant to this site~ I,m trying to find material of an eductional nature for producing and directing music clips and voice over is relevant ~ Only for information and guidance not promoting him !

Voted #7 catchiest song "Beat It"~ "There has already been some research that shows that if you can find the right piece of music, something that had a very strong meaning, playing that piece of music can be very therapeutic. But the challenge is figuring out what is the best piece of music."

I've written poems and I've written lyrics. I've learned if you can do one, you can usually do the other. As a poet, I've enjoyed the pure creative process, and the occasional publication of my work.

But I've never made a dime writing a poem. Ever.

On the other hand, I live very comfortably on my lyric royalties. And it beats working.
